Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

Skye was filled with emotion and gratitude.

In the end, she left the manor with a determined heart, and Matthew returned to the living room.

This matter itself didn't mean much to him.

But he cares more about Skye.

This young lady has great potential; otherwise, she wouldn't have given Skye the top-tier Devil Fruit, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

She also has a strong strategic and tactical vision.

They possess leadership qualities.

This is very rare.

Therefore, by entrusting this matter to Skye and allowing her to choose how to resolve it herself, I believe that once her obsession dissipates, she will experience significant growth.

Makes a killing.

With war imminent, Matthew remained as worried as ever.

During breaks from training and studying.

Instead, he started thinking about something else: now that he had established the Terra Empire, he certainly wouldn't be engaging in small-scale operations in the future.

The unification of the Earth is an inevitable outcome.

According to Terra's strategy, they did not initially use the strength of the three major warbands and Matthew's presence to directly sweep across the entire world and forcibly unify the Earth.

The process is easy, and no one can stop it.

The main problem is that it takes a long time to digest.

However, it is impossible to do nothing during these times.

Make sure you have enough time in advance.

Kara and the others are doing all of this, as for Matthew, he just needs to get stronger, and in the process of getting stronger, he can improve his training system.

These architectures are also mature.

However, Matthew felt there were still shortcomings.

That is, mobile forces and population in future large-scale wars.

This mobility can be described as technology.

Terra's technological level, especially its genetic technology, is quite outstanding even in the entire universe.

This refers to human civilization itself.

Other divine races, races with extraordinary bloodlines, have an advantage from birth; the most obvious example is Asgard.

The bloodline that Asgard possesses grants even commoners innate physical talents far exceeding those of other civilizations.

If they were placed on Earth, their physical abilities would be no less than, and in some cases even surpass, those of Captain America, Steve Rogers.

Human civilization, with its mortal body, is too fragile; it starts low and has a low ceiling.

An illness, a car accident, a mishap, a heatwave, or drowning can all take a life.

Perhaps their greatest advantages are their fertility and intelligence, as well as their rich emotions.

However, no matter how prolific they are, they can't compare to the prolific nature of certain Zerg, and no matter how brilliant their intellect, they can't match the deep-rooted empires.

These minds cannot bridge the existing technological gap.

There is no absolute or special method for dealing with emotions, nor can they be transformed into power.

Otherwise, why would the universe and other civilizations be completely unaware of or look down on humanity?

From their perspective, humanity is the lowest form of civilization.

Perhaps it's because the Earth's ecological environment is still acceptable.

Without Kamar-Taj and the Asgardian factor, if a real war had broken out, they would probably have either become interstellar slaves, been eaten by demons, or been raised as livestock.

Terra's genetic technology has broken this barrier.

But it's still not enough.

The Earth's population of billions may seem large, but it pales in comparison to the vastness of the universe.

Matthew plans to wait until the early variables of Terra are completed, then unify the entire Earth in a short period of time, integrating and digesting the Earth's population, technology, and resources.

At the same time, the army was expanded.

Then a great expedition is needed. Earth is too small. Even if we forcefully integrate all the ecosystems, it will still not be enough. Perhaps a few decades or a hundred years will be enough. What about a hundred years from now?

Chapter 282 The Heaven-Defying Strategic Artifact Rainbow Bridge (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Expeditions are an inevitable trend.

At that moment, Matthew suddenly realized that Terra was destined to be colonized in the future.

That's truly a hellish joke.

Of course, there might be another way, which is coexistence.

Terra is an empire of humans, but it can also be an empire of other races.

Inclusion and assimilation are powerful forces.

Subtle influence can change a race's perceptions.

However, that's all in the future.

In Matthew's strategy, the unification of the earth will be completed in the next few years, followed by development and the Great Expedition.

Not just the solar system, but the entire Milky Way galaxy.

Matthew had already designated the Milky Way as Terra's first strategic objective.

Terra is destined to become the ruler of the galaxy.

The problem is that while the size and strength of an army can be developed in a short period of time, what about technology?

Magic portals can solve the mobility issues of large-scale expeditions, but once a planet is occupied and territorial expansion is completed...

How to defend, develop, and the resistance from various forces, large and small, throughout the galaxy—all these factors must be taken into account.

Terra also needs spaceships capable of navigating the universe, a fleet, and a space-class mothership.

How long would it take Terra to develop these technologies on its own?

Unless Matthew can immediately sign up for that kind of revolutionary technological level.

Of course, this requires luck.

So what Matthew needs to do is to go out and find ways to get those advanced technologies in advance.

Despite being a mythical creation, Asgard is actually a technologically advanced civilization.

Asgardians are a long-lived, high-dimensional alien race whose power stems from their strong life force, high-density bodies, and innate ability to manipulate the fundamental energy of the universe.

This ability is more like a genetically locked superpower.

Asgardians also use magic, but in essence, they use runes and Uru metal as a medium to precisely program and guide cosmic energy.

This belongs to advanced energy manipulation technology.

The highest level of divine power is undoubtedly the power of Odin, the primordial cosmic energy bound to the World Tree of Asgard and the nine dimensions. It is inherited only by the ruler and used for interdimensional travel, resurrecting the dead, or reshaping reality.

Divine power often requires the assistance of divine artifacts, such as Thor's hammer or the Spear of Eternity, to focus or limit the power. These artifacts are themselves products of the combination of high technology and runic magic.

Even so, Asgard would still use spaceships when conquering the universe, though those ships were more suited to Asgard.

Even with a heaven-defying teleportation artifact like the Rainbow Bridge.

The most stable direction of teleportation on the original Rainbow Bridge was the Nine Realms. This was based on its connection to the World Tree, and it was an anchor point set by Odin after he led his army to conquer various places by force.

Essentially, the Rainbow Bridge can indeed transmit to any corner of the universe.

This was due to Odin's early conquests of the universe.

Of course, this coordinate system also relies on one person: Heimdall.

Overall, the existence of the Rainbow Bridge, such an incredible structure, demonstrates that Asgard truly possesses a vast treasure trove.

Uru metal, runes, etc.

Matthew's main concern is how to exploit Asgard.

However, Odin is not easily fooled.

If a hardline approach doesn't work, perhaps we could start with that good-for-nothing spendthrift Thor.

In addition, Odin seems to have a different idea about so-called destiny.

Matthew seemed lost in thought.

......

Deep in the Himalayas lies a hidden paradise.

Stretching for approximately 2500 kilometers, its total area reaches an astonishing 59.4 square meters, equivalent to the size of mainland France.

This shows just how spacious this place is.

Even in modern times, the Himalayas have not been fully explored.

The continuous snow-capped mountains block the way to the outside world. Thick white fog shrouds the deep mountain valleys all year round. The cold wind is dry and biting. The rocks on the mountain are exposed and the snow on the mountaintops never melts.

Surrounded by high mountains on all sides, the terrain is remote and treacherous, with no man-made roads connecting it to the outside world, making it impossible for ordinary people to reach on foot.

The valley floor is flat and covered with trees. Streams flow along the rocks and simple, rustic stone and wooden houses are scattered along the mountainside. This is where the extraordinary people gather, the afterlife.

The entire valley is quiet and secluded, far from human towns. Relying on the steep mountains and thick fog for natural concealment, it is completely isolated from the outside world and safely hides a group of strange residents.

The number of people living here who are considered "different" is not large; there are only a little over a hundred so far.

With men and women, young and old, this place retains more of the traditional characteristics of men farming and women weaving compared to the modern technological life in big cities.

Inside one of the wooden houses.

A middle-aged Asian woman with multiple stitches on her face was deep in thought in the living room.

At that moment, soft footsteps came from behind.

"Jia Ying, I brought back two compatriots."

"Thank you for your hard work, Gordon."

Jia Ying turned around and saw a middle-aged man whose appearance was not quite like that of an ordinary person.

Where the eye sockets were originally, there were no eyeballs, only a flat, continuous sheet of skin. There were no eyelids, pupils, or any other eye structures, making the entire face appear to have no eyes.

He has short, gray-brown hair and a thin, slender face.

He was wearing a khaki long trench coat, his attire simple and ordinary.

This is one of her capable assistants, Gordon.

She is her executor and guardian, possessing the ability to teleport across long distances.

"You seem restless?"

Although Gordon has no eyes, his Inhuman genes, once awakened, endowed him with extraordinary and unique sensory abilities.

With his exceptional senses, he could detect that Jia Ying's emotions were not very stable.

This surprised Gordon greatly.

Since he was saved by Jia Ying and transformed into an extraordinary being, Jia Ying gave him the sense of composure that only a wise person could possess.

"Yes, I have a very bad feeling."

"Why?"

Gordon pressed for details, trusting Jia Ying's intuition, which made him a little nervous.

"I don't know, but the feeling is very strong."
